*hakeme (刷毛目)

It refers to a brush-marked style of Japanese ceramics, where slip (liquid clay) is brushed onto the surface, leaving visible, expressive brush strokes. The name literally means “brush marks.”

How it’s made: A potter takes a rough brush and quickly applies white slip over darker clay. You can usually see the direction, speed, and texture of the brush.

Look & feel: Very rustic, spontaneous, and imperfect — drips, streaks, and uneven coverage are part of the beauty.

Origins: Strongly connected to Korean Joseon dynasty pottery, which influenced Japanese ceramics during the Momoyama and early Edo periods.

Aesthetic idea: It fits perfectly with wabi-sabi — valuing simplicity, naturalness, and the marks of the maker’s hand.

Common forms: Tea bowls (chawan), plates, and everyday wares rather than super-refined decorative pieces.
